Evil flourishes because good people allow it, for whatever reason, be it apathy, fear, etc...
I used to wonder how the German people could have allowed the slaughter of 6 million Jews during WWII. I don't wonder anymore - not after we've now slaughtered 60 million babies just in America; over a billion worldwide.
Surely our present day world has much to atone for. As much or more as any civilization, existing during recorded history.
Yes, but why would God help us out, if we can’t even elect a godly man to run the White House? The man in the current lead says Planned Parenthood does some wonderful things. But that is not true. An organization that kills some 3,000 babies a day in America [and in the process damages their mothers for a lifetime] can only be defined as evil, as as such, they can do nothing good.
And as a Catholic, I’ll put forth this link. I believe it to be true with all of my heart:

Father John A. Hardon, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, please pray for this nation.
And you are definitely right; we have much to atone for, in regard to all our lost children. Painful.
